Another way is to directly Seal Sage Mode Chakra.
According to the plot of the Six Paths Sage fighting Kaguya, the Toad Immortal gave a talisman filled with sealed Sage Mode Chakra.
This talisman played a key role in saving the dying Ōtsutsuki Hamura during the battle.
This proves that Sage Mode Chakra can be sealed, but it remains unknown whether the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style can hold it.
If it can, then this storage method would be much more effective in practical combat than the first one.
Try it first.
He began to write and draw on paper, using his knowledge of Sealing Techniques to construct the Seal's design.
At the same time, he integrated the runic inscription style for storing spiritual power from the silver cylinder into it.
The path for releasing energy was referenced from the design of Quincy Spiritual Arts.
For several days in a row, he locked himself in the Barracks and didn't come out.
Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, after many experiments and revisions, Aokawa completed the final design.
This Seal was mainly based on the Sealing Techniques of the Hokage world, while also referencing the runes of Quincy Spiritual Arts.
Aokawa named it: Sage Storage Seal!
He took off his shirt, revealing his lean, muscular lines.
With a thought, he opened his palm.
A ball of blue Chakra appeared in his palm, spontaneously forming a profound pattern.
He slowly pressed it onto his Dantian.
"Hiss!" The pain of inscribing the Seal made him gasp.
A moment later, his palm moved away, leaving a black, profound sealing formula on the skin around his navel, which then faded and disappeared.
He let out a long breath: "Next, I'll try to see if Sage Mode Chakra can be stored."
Aokawa sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, beginning to absorb Natural Energy from the air to mix into his body while refining Chakra.
Since his Quincy fusion rate had increased, he no longer needed to Seal his Acupoints to control the ratio to activate Sage Mode like before.
Instead, he could absorb Natural Energy with his eyes closed, just like Naruto.
Time passed bit by bit, the sun set, and the sky grew dark.
The eyeshadow around Aokawa's eyes appeared, and Sage Mode was activated.
He began to control the newly refined Sage Mode Chakra, sending it into the Sage Storage Seal wave by wave.
When the last bit of Sage Mode Chakra entered, the eyeshadow around his eyes vanished.
"Seal!"
Aokawa turned his palm over the Seal, and the sealing runes on it locked tightly.
He sensed the area around the Seal carefully for a while and didn't feel any Sage Mode Chakra leaking out.
"It's a success!" A smile appeared on Aokawa's face.
Next, he would check it once every while to see how much Sage Mode Chakra remained, which would give him an idea of the storage duration.
Aokawa looked at the black formula gradually fading on his abdomen, the corners of his mouth curling up.
The completion of the Sage Storage Seal meant he could mobilize Sage Mode Chakra at any time, no longer needing to worry about insufficient Natural Energy during battle.
In this world where the amount of Chakra determined the upper limit, this was practically a cheat-like endurance Divine Artifact.
He had just finished dressing and adjusted his collar.
Knock, knock.
A somewhat hesitant knock on the door sounded.
The rhythm was light, as if afraid the person inside would hear, yet also afraid they wouldn't.
Aokawa was a bit surprised.
Who would come at this time?
If it were Hyuga Ryosuke, the knocking would usually be crisp and decisive.
He walked to the door and pulled it open.
Outside the door.
A pretty figure was standing there.
The moment he saw who it was, a flash of amazement crossed Aokawa's eyes.
Kurenai Yuhi wasn't wearing her usual Ninja combat uniform.
She had changed into a long white dress, the hem just covering her calves, paired with a well-fitting red top.
The red was passionate, the white pure.
The two colors collided on her body to create a breathtaking sense of beauty.
Under the moonlight, Kurenai Yuhi had been lowering her head, staring blankly at her toes, which she couldn't see.
The door opened suddenly, and like a startled rabbit, she jerked her head up.
In those ruby-like eyes, there was a shimmering light, but also obvious panic.
Seeing Aokawa staring at her with burning eyes, her cheeks instantly turned red.
Like a ripe apple.
"That... I..."
She stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
A sense of shame instantly took the high ground.
She subconsciously turned around, wanting to flee this place that made her heart race out of control.
"You're already here, why run?"
How could Aokawa let her leave like that?
He reached out a long arm and directly grabbed her slender wrist.
The warm touch from his palm came through.
Kurenai Yuhi's body trembled, but she didn't struggle, letting him pull her into the Barracks.
Click.
The sound of the door locking was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat.
A man and a woman alone.
An enclosed space.
This atmosphere made her already burning cheeks even more frighteningly hot.
Aokawa, however, appeared very natural.
He pulled Kurenai Yuhi to sit by the table, turned around, and poured a cup of warm water, placing it in front of her.
"What's wrong? Coming over so late, do you want to chat with me to relieve boredom?"
He leaned against the edge of the table, arms crossed, looking at the uneasy girl before him with leisure.
Kurenai Yuhi held the water cup, her fingers turning white from the force.
She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the swaying surface of the water in the cup, her voice as faint as a mosquito.
"During this time... Dad's special training has been too strict."
"Whether it's the frequency of Ninjutsu release or physical endurance drills, it's much stronger than before."
"Even though I rested for a night, the... the recovery is still very slow."
Speaking to this point, she paused.
As if gathering all her courage.
She looked up, caught a quick glimpse of Aokawa, and then quickly lowered her head again.
"Could you... please..."
Her voice grew smaller and smaller, finally becoming almost a whisper.
"Please... give me another massage..."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Kurenai Yuhi's face turned so red it looked like it would bleed.
Even her fair and slender neck was dyed with an alluring layer of pink.
She bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to look at Aokawa's expression.
Heaven knows how much effort she used to say those words.
Clearly it was so shameful last time... clearly she swore never to do that again... but the soreness in her body was real, and that inexplicable longing in her heart was also real.
Looking at her ostrich-like appearance, Aokawa couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Of course, no problem."
He agreed decisively.
As a Medical Ninja, helping teammates recover their physical state was an inescapable responsibility.
Of course.
If that teammate was Kurenai Yuhi, then this responsibility was even heavier.
Hearing him agree, Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange emotion rose in her heart.
Both expectant and afraid.
She looked up, her watery eyes staring at Aokawa, her tone carrying a hint of soft pleading.
"But... not the kind where you misbehave."
